I'm looking for suggestions for taping the hinge side gap of a Grob. I typically un-tape for the annual inspection of condition, clean, then re-tape. There is very little movement at the hinge. In the past, I used Tesa brand Tissu tape that Wings and Wheels sells (about 2/3 of the way down this...

I saw this item in another thread and found it interesting. Do you actually tow with your hand on the release? What happens at 100 feet when you hit a good bump and accidentally release? I have had exactly one PTT (premature termination of tow) at about 3 feet AGL when I had my hand on the...

Killing time before breakfast and heading to the airport and have a basic computer question. It seems that, with this site, clicking on a link opens a new tab with a redirection notice. It's annoying to have to stop what I'm doing, change tabs, and click on the link again. Being new to google...

I'm trying to build an inexpensive yet effective rudder lock for an assembled GROB 103 or TWIN ASTIR. Have tried two or three approaches but not happy with any thus far. Needs to be rugged, lightweight, and user friendly (think club environment). Any ideas? Mike

And the test facility should do a detailed internal inspection as well as a hydrostatic pressure test and in sone cases even ask for an eddy current inspection if its a suspect cylinder. Check with the tank manufacturer for what should be required for this cylinder and for any service bulletins...

With the correct cable can XcSoar send a new task to my Model 20 Cambridge. Or, does XcSoar just receive information from the Model 20 as to track, etc.? Thanks, Fred
